Featured pricing is subject to change. Hoda Kotb is hitting the ground running. Before retiring from NBC's flagship 'Today Show' this past May, the longtime host announced her seventh book 'Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life.' And, now, less than two months post-host gig, the 60-year-old anchor shared that she's going on a six-city tour to promote her literary effort that hits shelves on Sept. 23, 2025. That includes gigs in Charleston, SC (Sept. 20), Chicago, IL (Sept. 21) and New Orleans, LA (Sept. 26). At all shows, Kotb will share excerpts from 'Jump and Find Joy,' which is described as an intimate book that reveals for the first time what Hoda discovered as she started embracing change in every aspect of her life. 'It's filled with stories, inspiration, and little reminders to embrace the moment and choose joy—every single day,' she shared on her website. 'I can't wait for you to read it.' She also worked 'advice from change experts and deeply personal stories' from both celebrities and 'inspirational people in our own communities'' into the text, according to a description from Penguin Random House. Those who attend will be treated to a signed copy of the book. For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about Hoda Kotb's 'Jump and Find Joy' book tour. Hoda Kotb tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar including all tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below. About 'Jump and Find Joy' Here is Amazon's official synopsis of Kotb's 'Jump and Find Joy': Hoda Kotb didn't expect to join the Today show at age forty-four. Or to become a mother at fifty-two. Or to leave Today and embark on a new adventure at sixty! Change doesn't always arrive when we expect it, and its effects are anything but predictable. But Hoda believes that the benefits of change can be extraordinary…if we're willing to listen to and learn from them. In the tradition of books like Savannah Guthrie's Mostly What God Does and Maria Shriver's I've Been Thinking comes Hoda Kotb's Jump and Find Joy—an intimate book that reveals for the first time what Hoda discovered as she started embracing change in every aspect of her life. In her quest to better understand change and how to work with (not against) it, Hoda relies on her reporting instincts to investigate HOW change works, WHO is approaching it with grace, and WHAT she can apply to her own life and share with others. Jump and Find Joy combines the wisdom of change experts, insights from the latest work on resilience, and deeply personal stories from celebrities and inspirational people in our own communities. From small shifts in daily routines to major leaps of faith, Hoda shows why change isn't to be feared but celebrated…and how each of us can thrive in the midst of changes we'll inevitably face ourselves. You can pre-order 'Jump and Find Joy' here. Hoda Kotb books Ahead of 'Jump and Find Joy,' Kotb released six books. Here's a bit about each of them: Hoda: How I Survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cancer, and Kathie Lee Hoda's New York Times best-selling autobiography. Ten Years Later: Six People Who Faced Adversity and Transformed Their Lives Six stories about people that changed their lives…ten years after they made the adjustment. Where We Belong: Journeys That Show Us The Way A number of stories about inspiring people who unexpectedly 'found themselves.' I've Loved You Since Forever Kotb's first children's book; it's a testament to the timeless love between parent and child.

‘Today' co-hosts tease Carson Daly over Jennifer Love Hewitt romance: ‘We know what you did THAT summer'
Carson Daly's co-hosts are teasing him over this past flame. While on the 'Today' show on Tuesday for his pop culture segment, Daly, 52, discussed the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' sequel. The 1997 original movie starred Freddie Prinze Jr. as Ray Bronson, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Helen Shivers, Ryan Phillippe as Barry William Cox, and the entertainment host's ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Love Hewitt, as Julie James. 10 Carson Daly on the 'Today Show' in March. Nathan Congleton/NBC via Getty Images Twenty-eight years later, they created another flick for the franchise with Prinze, 49, Hewitt, 46, and a new cast. Gellar and Phillippe's characters died in the original movie. During his segment, Daly pulled up a picture of the Prinze and Gellar, 48, from the original 1997 premiere, as well as a shot of them during Monday night's premiere. The real-life married couple first met on the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' movie set, but didn't start dating until 2000. 10 Carson Daly and Jennifer Love Hewitt attend the 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' premiere.

'Were you at that premiere?' Guthrie asked, while Jenna Bush Hager echoed her co-host's sentiments, inquiring, 'Did you go to that premiere?' When Daly slyly responded, 'I'm not sure. I can't remember 30 years ago,' Guthrie clapped back, 'We know what you did that summer.' 10 Carson Daly and Jennifer Love Hewitt during 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. WireImage 'Yeah, I've heard the jokes,' Daly laughed back. 'I'm aware.' The anchor then told viewers to 'Google it' as Daly labeled his co-hosts a 'tough crowd.' The 'Voice' host and Hewitt dated for a year in the late '90s. 10 Jennifer Love Hewitt and Carson Daly during the MTV Bash. FilmMagic Daly did not attend the October 1997 carpet, but was at the premiere of 1998's 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.' Both stars have since moved on romantically. Hewitt tied the knot with her 'Client List' co-star, Brian Hallisay, in 2013. The couple shares three kids: Autumn, 11, Atticus, 10, and Aidan, 3. Daly has been married to Siri Pinter since 2015. They are parents to Jackson, 16, Etta, 12, and London, 10, and Goldie, 5. 10 Jennifer Love Hewitt attends the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' premiere in 1997.

The original movie followed a group of four friends who accidentally kill a man. One year later, they're stalked by a hook-wielding killer. 10 Jennifer Love Hewitt attends the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' premiere in 2025. / Along with a blast from the past, the franchise added a slew of new faces to the sequel, including Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Lola Tung, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez, although the last two stars' roles were slashed for editing purposes. This time around, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' follows five friends who 'inadvertently cause a deadly car accident' before they 'cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences,' per Sony Pictures. However, 'a year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they're forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.' 10 Jennifer Love Hewitt and her husband Brian Hallisay. Jennifer Love Hewitt/Instagram In April, Hewitt got candid on re-joining the franchise. 'I'll be super honest, I had total anxiety for 48 hours before [filming] because I was like, 'Can I do this? Am I going to pull this off?' It's a lot of pressure,' she told People at the time. Her fears were soon put to rest. 10 Carson Daly with his wife and kids in 2017.

'And for me to stand by like a proud mom and say, 'It's yours now, take it and run and enjoy.'' The 'Holiday Junkie' star also expressed her gratitude for being able to return to the franchise nearly 30 years later. 10 Jennifer Love Hewitt in the 1997 film, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 'As a female in Hollywood, in your 40s, sometimes you can feel forgotten about,' Hewitt admitted, noting that she felt 'really touched emotionally and honored that Sony would have me back, that the franchise would have me back, that Jen wanted me back, and that the audience wanted me back. It really felt like an honor. Stepping into her shoes again was really fun.' Hewitt's character has also found its way into her home life. Julie James has an iconic line in the original movie, yelling at the killer, 'What are you waiting for, huh?' Her youngest son 'now says it daily.' Hewitt told Screen Rant in an interview published Tuesday: 'Just the other day, he was standing on the stairs, and he goes, 'Mommy, I want to go to the park. What are you waiting for, huh?'' 10 Jennifer Love Hewitt in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 'And he just says these things, and now for dinner, he'll be like, 'I'm hungry. What are you waiting for, huh?' And it's hilarious, literally me on the floor laughing every time. So I love it. It's been great, and I just appreciate that there's a line that means that much to people out there.' 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' hits theaters on Friday.

Richard Simmons' longtime housekeeper denies ‘kidnapping' him, says he was happy in final years
Richard Simmons' longtime housekeeper and companion Teresa Reveles is speaking out about the late fitness guru's final years. In a candid conversation – her first broadcast interview – Reveles told the "Today" show about the unique nature of their relationship, and claimed that he was incredibly happy in the years before his death on July 13, 2024. She began working for Simmons decades ago, in 1988, and while some rumors have claimed that she was to blame for his disappearance from the spotlight in his later years, she denied it. When host Liz Kreutz asked about speculation that she'd "kidnapped" him, she laughed and replied, "No, I think he kidnapped me!" While she said their relationship wasn't sexual, she did admit they were very close. "He (fell) in love with me right away, that he says, 'No, you're never going to leave me,'" she explained. She said that to her, he was "like a brother … like my father, my friend, my boyfriend, my everything." Reveles insisted that she and Simmons weren't romantic partners, and said that if anyone was confused by the unconventional relationship she shared with him, "It's their problem. We were very happy, and the last ten years was the most happy years." When asked about Simmons' sexual orientation, which he never publicly disclosed, she refused to answer, but when she was asked if she ever knew about any romantic partners he had, she said, "Me. He never love anybody like me." She added, "Well, he wasn't my lover, not sexually, but he kissed me all the time." As for how secluded Simmons became in the years leading up to his death, she said, "He was not happy that he was getting old, OK? He says, 'No, I want people to remember me the way I was.' You know … full of life." Reveles was the one who found Simmons after he died. She said that was a "crazy, sad day," but that he had been "very, very happy." "I never saw Richard, in 36 years, unhappy, or mean, or upset," she said. In a message to Fox News Digital, Tom Estey, Simmons' longtime friend, said, "Let's CELEBRATE Richard - the human being. It's nearly his Birthday. I worked with him for 30 plus years, and more importantly, we were close friends even longer. I choose to celebrate these milestones." On July 11, 2024, Simmons suffered a fall and spent the following day in bed. On the morning of July 13, Simmons was found unresponsive on his bedroom floor. Authorities were called, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The fitness instructor and TV icon died as a result of blunt traumatic injuries, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office announced two months later. The 76-year-old's manner of death was ruled as an accident. Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular was listed as a contributing factor. At the time, Reveles told People, "When I saw him, he looked peaceful." She said that when she found him, his hands were balled into fists, and explained, "That's why I know it was a heart attack. I had a heart attack a few years ago, and my hands did the same." The day before he died, Reveles said Simmons' leg was hurting from a fall the previous day. Simmons passed away one day after his birthday, July 12. She told him, "Let's go to the hospital. Maybe you broke your leg." Simmons protested, "No, Teresa, not on my birthday. Why [don't we] wait, and we do it in the morning?" "But in the morning, it was too late," Reveles said. Los Angeles Police Department officials confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time that there was "no foul play" suspected in his death.

In a conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Jost said that he did not expect the press around the film to go wild over a kiss between the co-stars, who are also good friends. The SNL star also joked that he did not expect to be attacked by the Bridgerton star. Jost and Johansson got married in 2020, and ever since, the couple has been a fan favorite.

Colin Jost's reaction to Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey's kiss While sitting down for an interview with the media portal, Colin Jost joked about his wife's kiss with Bailey. He said, 'I guess in Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought [of.] Of all the threats out there, I wasn't thinking it was Jonathan.' The comedian further added, 'People really blow it out of proportion. When someone, like, kisses their friend hello. That's pretty nuts.' Jost continued to state, 'Jonathan's an out gay man. It didn't seem like the biggest threat. Jonathan and I were like, 'I guess we have to kiss now? Is that what happens?' Close the loop!' Meanwhile, the Black Widow star and Bailey made headlines at the premiere event of their movie and the fourth installment of the Jurassic World franchise. The actress, who was dressed in a light pink gown, went on to kiss her co-star on the red carpet.
